Of course not. The best player of all time tag belongs to Jesse Hogan but I'm sure Swallow would gladly accept second best and GCS will take a fourth rounder and Tom Couch in exchange.

Others won't, but I'd do that deal. YES, I know he didn't have a good year, but I've seen enough to know he's a very high quality talent and imo will be elite. He's at the perfect age to come in and

Was told tonight that we have been in contact with Swallow more than once. Things could heat up in the coming weeks.

I'd do pick 2. He is a former #1 pick with a few years in the system.

He will improve.

He is ready to go.

We don't have time to wait around for any more 18 year olds to 1) develop physically to AFL standard and 2) see if they are the next 'once in a generation player'

I can live with it. At least we will know (barring injury) that he would be deserving of a spot in round 1 2014.

This same logic holds true for any one that Roos and the coaching panel deem appropriate for a trade of this nature.

Just out of curiosity, has there been word that he wants to come home or Gold Coast are looking at trading him? Or is this just a random thread of 1 of the many players we could throw pick 2 at?

It was mooted in an Inside Football article a month or so ago that we'd had chats with the Suns regarding Watts and pick 2 for Swallow. It all stems from that and there's been nothing more.

Home is WA and they are not looking at trading him, but could do the right deal.

Kids going to be a superstar, I have absolutely no doubt about that, if he wants more opportunity and to be closer to his brother pick 2 would be on it's way to the gold coast imo.

I remember reading an article a while ago which suggested he had asked to be traded to North to be with his brother.

The Suns didn't like the offer and he re-signed.

Even though Melbourne wasn't his original choice it still means he gets to come home, and you'd think if he still wanted to be traded the Suns would settle for pick 2. But as BH said there has been nothing more since the Inside Football article.

Only an idiot wouldn't give pick 2 for Swallow

Hes had two seasons playing and training alongside the greatest midfielder of all time. His development has been done, and hes ready to fire big time.

Its a no brainer for the MFC

I desperately hope there is truth to this rumour and we do get Swallow.

Swallow is exactly what our club needs.

This kid underachieved this year, but he is going to be a gun.

Big bodied midfielder who can kick a goal.

I'd give up pick 2 in a heart beat for Swallow, his body alone is 4-5 years ahead of Aish or Kellys.

Swallow will be a player, we should chase him.

Jones, Swallow and Viney would be a good midfield in 2014.

Would be a something to work with and throw in a fully fit forward line and we should improve rapidly.

are, but would you trade Howe for Swallow? < Surely a joke?

& then use P2 on Aish, or for a Sloane? or a Docherty + P7 ?

Yes but I am confident that the three other Clubs in the hypothetical wouldn't!

Coming home in the same sense that Mitch Clark came home, I guess, given that both grew up in WA.

Its all over the net that he does want to come home but just find it hard to believe gold coast would want more picks. They've had a few....

still think Sloane is more likely.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
